Speaking as someone who has rotted numerous cuttings by overwatering in potting soil, coir and peat moss, this looks like a great method. Definitely using this method this year. Thanks for sharing.

[@andielliott7721]

Yep....I too have lost a lot of cuttings because of over-watering...hundreds of them!

[@olenalanska6318]

So your comment is now 7 months old, did you try the sand method?

[@alonefungi2559]

@@olenalanska6318 I did try it and had poor results. Lots of mold, poor rooting, even after lots of greenery. Then the transitions to lower humidity and potting are challenges. I'm going back to parafilm coating, well drained coir or peat moss and frequent watering. Though I've also had great success rooting green cuttings in the summer from my own trees.

[@Lemurai]

Just to expound on the mold, WASH, your fig cuttings, something a lot of these influencers aren’t telling you, don’t worry a little drop of detergent in a cup of water with baking soda won’t kill them, take a soft bristle toothbrush and use the solution to scrub end to end, and rinse thoroughly. Then dry and spritz alcohol over it. I also sterilize my sand, and before even starting I wash my containers with detergent first, then wash the inside with a mild bleach and water solution. That will knock down your chayote mold substantially. If your region doesn’t have a problem with mold then more power to you, please plant as you choose. I simply like to flesh out parts of propagation that people either glaze over or just flat out don’t tell people for whatever reason🙄 Because I know having plant cuttings shipped isn’t the most convenient thing in the world and I like to see people get their money’s worth & DONT rely on people from KZbin, please research for yourselves because not one of these people on YT will tell you every detail on what they did to achieve success with their plants.

[@gianfrancopaladino961]

@lemurai how do you sterilize the sand?

[@carlschnackel3051]

@@gianfrancopaladino961 I'm guessing that it's rinsed with boiling water.

[@KJV7154]

You can bake it in the oven at 350 for an hour or rinse with alcohol.@@gianfrancopaladino961

[@danielchilds1067]

I sterilize my sand by putting it in a baking tray and put it in the oven at 225 for 1 1/2 hours. Every 30 minutes I will mix up the sand to make sure it all getting up to temperature. Take it out and let it cool off completely then start using it. I do this every time before I put a new batch to propagate in the sand to keep bacteria away from the new growth and wood. I don’t go as far and scrubbing the cutting but I do spray them with rubbing alcohol right after I cut them and then before I dip them in rooting hormone I will let them soak in water mixed with hydrogen peroxide about 3 parts water to 1 part hydrogen. Sand is definitely a superior method for propagating cutting then any other medium that I have tried!

[@cheyl9112]

This is fantastic and I can’t hardly believe how fast it worked. I have fig, mulberry, peach and pear ALL sprouting and rooting! Now I need to see what to do next…how you transfer to pots when there’s root spouting all over.

I grow them in vermiculite and pearlite. In little cups with holes at bottom n inserted in another cup to hold water. I would love more cuttings. So many of my neighbors left their fig trees back north when they moved. I am trying to get them figs to grow and I love growing them n potting them. I give them away to others. Hoping one day I can help feed our homeless populations with a free bag of figs..

[@blessisrael6455]

I didn’t think about that….. I can’t imagine how many trees are dying with homelessness, people moving, and mass eviction (imminent domain by the Fed Gov. in much of the country area); if we gathered together and more people took an active collective interest, imagine how much food we would have to give away….. ; )

[@crtnyp]

I put some mulberry cuttings in moist sand on a heating mat 3 weeks ago. There are no roots but it looks like they are starting to make little berries. Should I remove those so they can focus on root development? Thanks

[@BillynBertie]

Looks effective but I simply take cuttings in the dormant period, shove them in a large bucket of damp sand and leave them in there until they start into growth in the spring. I leave them in place until the leaves are shooting very well and I find that quite a proportion form roots by early summer. I wash the sand carefully off and pot them up. Any which have still not produced roots I put back into damp sand and quite a few more will have started to root by mid summer.

[@candeehead629]

How often do you water?

[@BillynBertie]

@@candeehead629 with a large deep pot of sand, almost never in winter. And sand drains so well you need not worry too much about waterlogging and rotting. I keep the pot in a shady corner of the greenhouse.

[@Prospermiinow]

Thank you. Thank k you. Thank you !!!!This method truly works. I had tried rooting powder. I tried putting cuttings in water. But after trying this method, the cutting rooted. Beautiful strong roots. My question is how long can the cuttings be kept in sand this way, before they can be planted in soil? Your help is greatly appreciated.

[@PlantFanatics]

When new leaf growth starts commencing you can place them into soil and allow them bright indirect sunlight. If you place them in full sunlight they will scorch.

[@blessisrael6455]

How do you know when it’s rooted if they’re planted straight up into the sand/coir ? I heard it was bad to root figs horizontally, that we should root vertically in clear cups; I prefer this method because you can see the roots in the cups; What’s your method in propagating ? And what type of soil do you transfer them into ? Thanks ; )

Ok I tried it and 🎉just like that it WORKS I have even tried this method with mulberry cuttings IT WORKS Thanks a ton of figs 😂

[@JM-et1jk]

Not heat? Would you mind shearing what temperature are they rooting in? Thank you

[@stevedagro8748]

Mine have been in container for 2 weeks. Leaves on nearly every node but no roots. Spritzing daily/as needed. 1)Should I be removing leaves from rooting end of cuttings? 2)what do I do if roots begin to form from top to bottom of cuttings. VERY CONFUSED as I’ve never had 100% sprouting as I do using this “new” method

[@PlantFanatics]

Leave them out of any light and just keep doing what you're doing. The only time I've had a cutting root from the top is when I accidentally applied rooting hormone to the top. When the roots develop on the bottom just make sure to pot it up in the correct orientation.

[@chuckpatch1230]

when do you pot them ? would like to see a vid on that so we know how many roots are there when you pot them,thank's i am doing this ,got sand and container today

[@gabrielhickman3908]

I’m curious about this too.

[@jenniferbennis5491]

Do you need to rotate the cutting once one side has started growing roots?

[@FC2ESWS]

The problem with this is that the cuttings and leaves are so used to the humidity, that when you transplant you have to keep them in a humidity dome for awhile or else the leaves will wilt and die.

[@SolanaWhale69]

For the sand propagation method, how often should I open the plastic container and spritz with water? Weekly? Monthly? Also I received cuttings from you and I noticed you didn't shave part of the bottom to expose the cambium layer so that the cutting can make roots. Should I do that or unnecessary ?

[@randylynnr]

What type of cuttings do you use? When is best time to cut and how do you prepare them for fridge? Is it necessary to do that step?

[@PlantFanatics]

They should be 2-3 nodes in length at least. Cut them before the first hard frost. Wash them with dish soap before you store them in the fridge, and again before you propagate.

[@keithberry366]

Thinking about soil mix and fertilizer and sunlight or grow light etc

[@carlschnackel3051]

Do they need to be under a grow light while they're rooting? Or will they root fine in the dark?

We haven’t tried it with soil. We use sand because its moisture control is superior and microbial life is lower.

Figs always put out leaves before they root. I would have liked to see the roots on the cuttings in that box after one week.

[@PlantFanatics]

Why do you believe that figs always put out leaves before they root?

[@illumiNOTme326]

Not always. I've had more than a few fig cuttings put out a dunce root system that was encircling the clear plastic cup they were being rooted in without any buds swelling on the top growth. From the same tree with cuttings that were developing leaves with only small white bumps where the roots are starting to form.

[@oldmanfigs]

When I use too much rooting hormone they will leaf out first with no roots. Hormones are strange…..little bit goes a long way , and a lot can do the other stuff we don’t need .@@illumiNOTme326

[@margaretmarshall3645]

I don’t get you. Look again; there were lots of roots visible on those cuttings!

[@StevenBCrosby]

Very nice thanks for sharing. Just like plants, we as gardeners are constantly growing and expanding! 👍

[@anxiousbeachbums]

Rooting newbie says: Ideally (using the sand method) you'll get roots and leaves at the same time. If so, up-pot those cuttings when appropriate (roots are well-established). My dilemma is when I get leaves (and even FIGS) but roots are absent. Guessing if roots don't eventually appear, the leaves will die. So, "Leaves" don't guarantee success. (Patiently) Watch for and baby the heck out of the ROOTS. And, pluck off any figs.........Don't need to be growing FRUIT at this stage.

[@AncientHippie]

No rooting hormone? If out of the danger of frost and once the roots appear, can they be planted directly outside?

[@PlantFanatics]

We use dip and grow rooting hormone. Technically you can put them straight into the ground, but we prefer to have a solid root ball before doing that.

[@liligibson8457]

When is the best season you start it? Did you water the sand before you put the cuttings there?

[@realMysta]

How often do you mist them?

[@tdok]

When do you transfer them to a pot? If a stick lies down like that and rooted in multiple areas, how do you pot it?

[@PlantFanatics]

They’ll have a pretty good sized root cluster. You just fill the pot a little, stick the cutting in the middle and fill the rest of the pot up around the cutting

[@TheMr0450]

Do you put them in the sun or under light??

[@PlantFanatics]

Neither until they have rooted and leaves form. Once they root and you place them in containers they simply need a dappled sunlit area, or an artificial grow light.

[@rynophiliac]

Update?

[@L6FT]

Thumbs up for the mold tip.

[@2003cd]

Maybe a dumb question… very new to this, when do you know it’s ready to plant in soil? How do you do it? I had some roots on one and put it in soil and the roots disappeared/died. Do you have a video on that process?

[@PlantFanatics]

I have a video discussing tips for success after placing them in a container. Typically I like for the roots to be a few inches long before I mess with them. I buy a high quality potting mix, and add extra perlite for added drainage. Water thoroughly until water is draining out of the bottom of the container, and then keep soil moist but not waterlogged after that.

[@AncientHippie]

What do you do if the roots start developing at the top of the cutting?

[@PlantFanatics]

It will be fine as long as the humidity is high and you spray ever so often

[@FC2ESWS]

So you're spraying 100% alcohol on the cuttings (roots and leaves) and it's not hurting them at all? You don't dilute it?

[@PlantFanatics]

70% isopropyl alcohol, yes. It doesn’t hurt them. It rapidly evaporates.

[@FC2ESWS]

@@PlantFanatics Cool thanks. I have some mold growing on my cuttings but I didn't want to kill the roots or leaves.
